Land degradation and chemical pollutants
To combat soil impoverishment, the loss of fertility and food insecurity, FFEM gives priority to financing projects that improve the resilience of ecosystems or reverse erosion processes. It particularly focuses on the development of sustainable agricultural production systems.
Pollution also poses strong threats for the environment and populations. FFEM gives priority to financing projects to eliminate and prevent pollutants which are fully in line with three conventions: the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, the Basel Convention on Hazardous Wastes and the Minamata Convention on Mercury.
